In my opinion I believe that The Nightmare Before Christmas is more a Halloween movie. This statement proves to show that in this movie more characters shown/introduced are monsters that live in Halloween Town such as Werewolves, Vampires, Skeletons. What about when the director of this film specifically had the movie come out in October. In the end of this movie the main character Jack Skelington decided he was the pumpkin king and was happy for his holiday, Pumpkins are apart of Halloween.
